Ebay Coin Wizard?

The question was asked as to why he doesn't slab? For the same reasons many don't slab...it reveals the true nature of their coins and takes away all/much of the mystery and potential...and in many cases, value. Not saying the coins are fake at all, but when you look at his, up close...and I took a close look at most of his silver currently up...they're not that good...not 65 or better, good, and many not even 63 and some not even MS...more to AU...but to the degree that many of less experience can't/don't recognize enough to know better. Some are quite beat-up, close-up, but you have to LOOK close-up. Don't like his use of dim/shady light, and there's likely a reason for that...it covers/masks the stuff of higher-grade coins and many don't look much further. When the buyers go to slab them, they may be disappointed...if they even recognize it.

Amen Brother!

 

I did make the mistake months ago bidding on one auction with this seller. Gladstone I lost.

Funny you mention old paper rolls the only fake coin I got off ebay was a 1928 peace dollar from Canyon City Coins and his 'old roll scam"

Both of these sellers I believe now are selling a mixed lot of cleaned and fake coins.

CCC took a month to get my money back from claiming it was a brand new coin and because I opened the flip it was un returnable. tried to give me a 10% refund so had to open a case.

 

Scary stuff! If a rich man, I would buy one of the seller’s offerings, send it to a TPG and post the outcome.

 

If I were a rich man I'd be having the counterfeiter slabbed.

 

If it's to good to be true it usually is. Buyer beware!

 

Looking at some of the silver coins, I see problems (cleaned, dipped out) and AUs described as mint state. Probably buys problem coins and cracks them out. I didn't see any obvious fakes, but that doesn't mean some aren't there.
